THE last report of the Bureau of
Statistics shows how largely our ex
ports of wheat this crop year have
exceeded those of last year. The
quantity of wheat exported in January
was 8,056 66l bushels, against only
4, ,0lS, sos bushels in January, 1886. For
the seven months ending January 81,
the quantity was in round numbers
59. 500, 900 bushels, while for the cor.
responding seven months of the pre-
ceding year it was only 4,5OO, ,0OC
bushels. Counting -four reduced to
wheat, the exports in both forms du.
ring the seven months ending January
81, 1887, were 50, 49, $40 bushels. In
the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding year the quantity was Al ,976,

The Price of Pearls.

Although pearl weighing one grain
is worth only one-eighth of the price
of diamond of the same weight, it is
very easy to spend a large amount of
money for pearl jewelry. There is now
in the market a pearl necklace worth
f25, 900. l have seen another, says "A
writer in the PdUnbrOker's Gdzette,
orth $4,000, and one was recently
sold for about $4,000. These large
prices are caused by the difficulty of
obtaining particular sizes and colors
that may be wanted.
The most expensive collection of
pearls on record is that owned by the
countess of Dudley, which is far more
valuable than the celebrated pearls be-
longing to the queen. The countess
has Il coronet of pearls. The top is
composed of pear shaped pearls.
There is very large one in the center,
and the others are graduated in size
down to the smallest.
In order to get these pear-shaped
pearls in the requisite sizes and colors
the jewellers were obliged to buy such
an enormous quantity of pearls that
NhCu tiC Adlhouo W NoLi-
pleted, with earrings, bracelets, and
brooch, and finger rings to match,
they had Els 200 worth of odd pearls
left. A pair of matched pear-shape,l
pearls, weighing 10 grains, We're
recently sold for Fl ,250.
When the princess royal of England
married Frederick William of Prussia
she received a necklace of thirty-two
pearls, costing f22, 900. In 1889 the
French government possessed pearls
valued at fj0,000. One that weighed
1OS grains was valued at $4,000. Two
that were pear-shaped were valued at
fl4,000.
The black pearls bring very high
prices at present, but genuine pearls
may be bought that are white, pifik, or
gray. The peculiar color which is
called pearl is a sort of transparent
drab. There is at present greater de-
mand for pearls, as there is in fact for
all kinds of icwelry, than there has
been known for a long time. The
plenlifulncss of limitations does not APP
pear to destroy the value of the genu-
inc article.

On Thursday last the House failed
to pass the Dependent Pension Bill
over the Presidents veto. The origi-
nal vote on the bill was l80 to 76, or
considerably more than the two. thirds
required to pass it, Notwithstanding
the objections of the President" The
vote in it's favor was It's to 125. The
World says: 1.-THE vote to sustain
the President was solidly Demo cratic.
The Republicans voted to a man to
override the veto; with them were
arrayed thirty five Democrats, includ
ing Messrs. Randall and Holman. The
result we believe to be in keeping
with the best public interests, and We
say this as the friend OF ali true and
deserving soldiers. The Presidents
veto was promptly indorsed by the
World, and it is gratifying to see him
sustained in the discharge of right.

Hotel "Chair-Warmers."

s'Chair-warmers" are quite abund-
Ant this winter. Look into hotel
office almost any day and it will be
noticed that all the chairs are occupied
and that there are people pacing about
who can't get chair 10 sit down.
These people are not regular or even
casual guests. They haven't anywhere
to 60 to keep out of the cold, and so
drop into the hotels. Many of them
are poor devils out of work. Some of
them look anxious and detected; others
twitch about neryously, and OCCASION
ally get up and take turn around the
room; third class reads. Most of
these people are respectable-looking
The reading element is quite large.
Some have newspapers or magazines,
and some have paper-covered books.
They sit for hours and hours immersed
in the literature with which they have
provided themselves, only getting up
to move when the sweepers come
around with their disturbing brooms to
gather up the dirt and litter on the
tiling. The same people are to be
seen day after day, and their faces are
as familiar to the hotel clerks as those
of the permanent guests.-St. Paal

tax is steadily impoverishing the la
boring classes aud it will sooner or

included is indicated by the fact tha
